Court sets Nov. 20 for judgement in Nnamdi Kanu’s case

Federal High Court Abuja has fixed November 20 for judgement as detained leader of the proscribed separatist group, Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, Nnamdi Kanu forfeits his right to enter defence in his terrorism trial.

Trial judge, Justice James Omotosho chose the date on Friday in his ruling after Kanu failed to open his defence after exhausting the six days allocated to him by the court to conduct his defence.

The judge said Kanu, having failed to utilise the opportunity, granted him to conduct his defence, he can not claim to have been denied the constitutionally guaranteed rights to fair hearing.
